Some time back in the year 2000 I was thinking about retirement for my HK-T60. I too was introduced to VPI turntables at that time.
I found the Nottingham Hyperspace to be the better turntable.
However, I still have my HK-T60 and it is in very good working order.
I have yet to find turntable that can play the Tchaikovsky "1812" Overture (Telearc)
Try an find a way to keep your HK-T60 you just may find yourself missing it in 2 or 5 years
It is all about the music.
